NEW YORK, Oct. 1 (UPI) -- New York Jets quarterback Brett Favre has earned AFC offensive player of the week honors after throwing six touchdown passes last Sunday against Arizona.
The 18-year NFL veteran completed 24 of 34 passes for 289 yards in his 257th consecutive start.
The six touchdown passes were a single-game career high for Farve and equaled a Jets' franchise record.

Other AFC honors went to Kansas City linebacker Derrick Johnson (defense) and Pittsburgh placekicker Jeff Reed (special teams).
Johnson compiled seven tackles, ½ sack, one interception and one forced fumble in the Chiefs' 33-19 win over Denver.
Reed's 46-yard overtime field goal gave the Steelers a 23-20 victory against the Baltimore Ravens.
Overall, the seven-year veteran and totaled 11 points with three field goals and two extra points. The seventh game-winning field goal in Reed's career lifted Pittsburgh to its second straight 3-1 start.
